At Least Some of the Songs

We open this year's JULY SPOCK-EBRATION with a 1960 album by Salli Terri.

In consonance with its era, the selections are a little over-produced to my taste.

A more dismaying characteristic is the lyric of "My Old Kentucky Home," which narrates that "the darkies are gay."  Let's keep working to be more honored and honorable to all.

Despite our failures past and present, the American dream of cohesion, aspiration, and achievement should always be open to all.  You and I can help make it so within the bounds of our influence.
